Preserve inline dict inside an array about toml HOT 2 OPEN

Given the above snippet the output doesn't look that bad, but in my actual example the inner dicts have 7 keys each, and there are many dicts in the list, so the updating the file causes an explosion of line count, making the output wordier and less readable than the original.

This is also the exact problem I am having; would prefer also to have the ability to write inline tables from the encoder without having to read in / detect them in the first place. I think this makes sense for content that you want to compact in certain ways and not have tons of LOC.

Going to try the #383 solution and report back 🏄🏼

fwiw this encoder override method seems to mostly work, but may require an additional override of .dump_sections():

    def dump_list(self, v):
        '''
        Dump an inline list with a newline after every element and
        with consideration for denoted inline table types.

        '''
        retval = "[\n"
        for u in v:
            if isinstance(u, toml.decoder.InlineTableDict):
                out = self.dump_inline_table(u)
            else:
                out = str(self.dump_value(u))

            retval += " " + out + "," + "\n"
        retval += "]"
        return retval
